This discovery launched the world's two most powerful nations, the United States and the Soviet Union, into a dramatic thirteen-day conflict. U.S. President John F. Kennedy faced the grim possibility of nuclear war as he and his advisors tried to avert World War III. Cuban Missile Crisis: In the Shadow of Nuclear War chronicles the tense moments of this high-stakes standoff. Book jacket.
